Don't cry, little sister

by Krista Cummings   Oct 5, 2011


Don't cry, little sister; because I left you today,
God came to me last night, and now I must be on my way.
It was fun growing with you; and sharing this precious time,
But it was my moment to go, and I am doing just fine.

Don't cry, little sister; because our time got cut short,
I have a new task at hand, and to Him I must report.
I will remember your smile always; for it brightens my days,
You were such an inspiration to me, in so many ways.

Don't cry, little sister; because I have left you today,
I am still with you spiritually, come whatever may.
Even though I have left my body; my memory remains,
To help the ones who loved me, get through these heart-felt days.

Don't cry, little sister; because our time got cut short,
We are only lent these bodies, and mine has done all it could afford.
I brought you back to mother; please help her get along,
I love you both, and as you can see; I am now where I belong.

    I have to say this is one of the best poems I've read on here in a very long time. It drew me in right from the start. It was captivating and flowed smoothly from line to line.The only thing I felt was a little off was the final part of the last line in the third stanza. The rhyme was a bit off, it was subtle but I felt it was a little off. The lines were good in and of themselves but as a couplet like you have in all the other stanzas they didn't quite fit. Where as I thought you did very well with making the rhyme of time and fine work in the first stanza. They weren't an exact match but they fit nicely together when used how you used them. The piece was full of true emotion and you wrote it so the reader can feel that emotion too. I have to say ultimately the first stanza was my favorite, and the second came in a close second. Wonderfully done, and great usage of repetion and alternating some of the repetion so it wasn't overdone. All I have left to say is it is a beautiful piece. 5/5
